LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- FOX wants viewers to spend the holidays with its various animated families as "The Cleveland Show" and "Family Guy" will each be the focus of one-hour holiday specials on Sunday, December 5 and Sunday, December 12, respectively.

In addition, "The Simpsons Movie" will make its broadcast premiere this Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 25 at 8:00/7:00c, on the network.

All of the aforementioned moves were confirmed to the site exclusively this morning.

The one-hour installments of "Cleveland" and "Family Guy" will each air at 8:30/7:30c on said nights, bookended by new episodes of "The Simpsons" and "American Dad" with each pre-empting the other that particular week (no "Family Guy" on December 5, no "Cleveland" on December 12).
